What are home measurement services?

A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do floorplan services work?

During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total area and the general layout of the house. The finished report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When should I get a floorplan service?

Disputing real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth.

Putting your property up for sale

A home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Material for agents

To ensure that your client's property sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest asking for a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can view the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
